Default Helix dp vs. Greddy evo catback?

I want someones opinion on what next. i have narrowed it down to either a Helix dp or a greddy evo. I am thinking greddy evo first because i want to get the up/down pipe combo on gruppe-s to save me about $50. anyone have input?

Catback gives very little HP gain

I'm guessing the catback is used because the up/dp combo is cheaper than the catback by itself. I would say get the catback first for the sound and then when you have the $$$ get the dp/up combo to save the $50 but from what i've heard the evo catback isn't that much louder than stock, so without the catless up & dp you might not be that impressed. Since this is probably a used catback like mentioned above, if you are saving half the price of the catback - you might wanna jump on that deal right away which solves your dilemma. If you aren't getting a used catback, and you are assuming you would have to pay somebody to put the dp on...don't. It's really simple to do by yourself. The up-pipe on the other hand, was a pain the ass, but again, nothing you and a friend with some patience and automotive knowledge couldn't handle.

I'd have to agree with what he said about what she said about what he said initially. Yup.

Sorry too late. i bought the evo and im impressed with the sound. It makes one Holy boxer tone. Next will definately be the helix up and down pipe. Like i said gruppe-s has a good combo but does anyone know where i can get other good prices?

too many ppl get mod happy and get a turbo back. yes there good but if your not going to port the turbo, or upgrade it dont bother with a d/p. If you get a aftermarket d/p your going to creep with a stock turbo. not safe and you will not get any warranty with one. I have a turbo back, and had the turbo ported for $75. well worth the $$
